Samsung представил новый 16-мегапиксельный датчик изображения ISOCELL Slim 3P9, который является решением типа Plug and Play (подключи и используй) и позволяет производителям мобильных гаджетов экономить несколько месяцев на разработке.
Суперкомпактный Samsung ISOCELL Slim 3P9 с 1-мкм пикселями и технологией Tetracell способен делать превосходные фото и видео, помещаясь даже в очень тонкие смартфоны. Благодаря технологии Tetracell, которая позволяет объединять сигнал 4-х соседних пикселей, новинка может работать как датчик изображения с пикселями размером 2 мкм для получения качественных снимков в условиях недостаточной освещённости.
В Samsung ISOCELL Slim 3P9 реализована новая версия системы фазового автофокуса, которая работает быстрее предшествующих моделей. Кроме того, датчик оснащён системой стабилизации, получающей данные от гироскопа, установленного в мобильном устройстве. Это существенно повышает чёткость фото и видео при съёмке с рук без использования дорогостоящих систем типа стэдикам.
Samsung ISOCELL Slim 3P9 уже доступен для заинтересованных производителей мобильной техники .
Samsung Makes Image Sensor Integration Easier with New 16Mp ISOCELL Slim 3P9 and Plug & Play Solution
Tetracell technology and 1.0μm pixel size enable sleekly designed smartphones to take more vivid pictures in darker environments
The ISOCELL Plug & Play solution can save up to four months of development time for manufacturers
Samsung Electronics, a world leader in advanced semiconductor technology, today introduced a new 16-megapixel (Mp) ISOCELL Slim 3P9 image sensor along with a Plug and Play solution, a pre-optimized turnkey camera module made up of an ISOCELL image sensor and preferred partner components to help expedite time-to-market.
“Samsung’s ISOCELL image sensors take advantage of various technologies to deliver innovative imaging experiences in mobile devices,” said Ben K. Hur, vice president of System LSI marketing at Samsung Electronics. “The ISOCELL Plug and Play solution will help reduce time-to-market for set makers and offer a quality-assured camera solution to end-users.”
The Samsung ISOCELL Slim 3P9 is a 1.0μm 16Mp image sensor with Tetracell technology that allows bright and vivid pictures in today’s sleekly designed smartphones. With Tetracell, a technology that merges four neighboring pixels, the 3P9 can function as a 2.0μm image sensor for front-facing cameras that can take brighter pictures in low-lit environments.
For faster auto-focusing, the 3P9 adopted an advanced phase detection auto-focus (PDAF) with doubled auto-focus agent density than that of conventional PDAF sensors. In addition, the sensor significantly stabilizes pictures and videos taken while in motion with a gyro-synchronizer that syncs frame exposure time from the sensor with movement data from the device’s gyroscope. Once the data is synced, the mobile processor can simply adjust the frames based on movement rather than rigorously analyzing each frame to detect and compensate for angular movement.
For easier camera optimization while accelerating time-to-market, Samsung also offers an ISOCELL Plug and Play solution for the 3P9 in a rear camera module. Optimizing a camera module, made up of parts from different providers, with the mobile processor can be an arduous and lengthy task for smartphone makers. Samsung’s ISOCELL Plug and Play solution simplifies this process by offering a turnkey ISOCELL sensor module tuned for Valued Camera eXperience (VCX)-grade image quality, along with other components, including lenses and actuators from preferred partners.
Since the optimization and reliability tests are done beforehand at the module-level rather than on the sensor alone, manufacturers can simply plug the camera module onto their device, saving up to four months of development time.
The Samsung ISOCELL Slim 3P9 with Plug and Play solution is currently available.
